A CRAZED woman ran naked and screaming in public in a desperate bid to get her drunk husband’s attention just hours before he allegedly murdered her, witnesses have told a ­committal hearing.

Conway Stevenson remains in custody over the death of his wife at Bagot community, in Ludmilla, last November. Witness Nelly Jones said she was sitting in a stationary minibus taxi outside some houses when Stevenson, looking for his wife, told one of the other women on board: “I’m going to murder her.”

Ms Jones said she believed Stevenson’s threat was “silly talk”.

“I thought he wasn’t going to do that, he was always a good boy,” she said.

The court heard on the evening of November 26 – hours before she was killed – the victim stripped naked.

She was yelling “I want you Bagot mob to see me (like this)” and “where’s f***ing Conway”.

Witness Sabina Holmes said she believed the victim behaved in the “shameful” way to make Stevenson notice her.

Two women tried to calm her down, offering to help her get some clothes on and go to family at Minmarama community. She ignored them.

Ms Holmes said Stevenson told the victim, “I don’t want you any more”, but she ­followed him.

Witness Chris Herbert said he was drinking beer with other people on a footpath when Stevenson – “hungover” and upset – walked over.

Mr Herbert said the accused told him in Warlpiri: “I think she’s dead”.

“He told me to hit him,” he said. He punched Stevenson, whom people had started to yell at.
